63 Rambler Wagon
 
1963 Rambler Wagon

Done: Air Ride Technologies Airbag suspension, In the works: rebuilt stock 6cyl, 3 on tree, interior, paint.... Future mods: include big billet wheels and sound system. Not a true G Ride, but a start. I am going to get it rolling and clean then work on major hi performance mods in the future. Painting it the OG color teal/blue, the white is primer as things get done. It will get attention regardless cause I sure don't see these much anymore.

OG paint Sanded Down ready for Primer-not a spot of rust on this wagon!

Color

Interior, Engine Compartment Paint
 
Seats are done along with the engine and door jams finally sprayed. Roof to be sprayed this week.
Stock Color is Aegean Aqua Poly p-47 or P-47A...adding some pearl to give it some pop.

Yeah the dumb thing as a torque tube which makes modifications to engine tranny major. Going to roll with the stock rebuilt tranny and engine for a while and do performance mods later...as money permits, I want to enjoy the car for a while by working on basics...body, interior, wheels, suspension height, basic mechanical, then do performance mods as it will be no small issue to do these on a rambler. It will have looks before performance but I will be able to enjoy it for a year or so before doing engine and drive line changes if I decide I really need to do so.

More updates
 
My project seems like a joke compared to all the insane rides on this forum but I gotta take it in stages and allow my finances to catch up to my over all plan, mod level 1 on its way to completion. Level 2 will be engine/tranny/subframe change.

Your car is really cool...hope to have a similar look on mine when it's done. The engine is taking forever. Started the color polishing on the paint and fitting on the new chrome bumpers and old trim this up coming week and hope to have it together in the next few driving again. It's been a LONG time since I have driven the wagon.
